4. What are the security features of BridePros/One Stop Wedding Planner?^ Top
BridePros ensures privacy and security. The information in your profile is 100% secure. If you don't wish to receive messages from Professionals, you can deactivate your account at any time. Deactivating your account doesn't mean you can't continue to use our services. By deactivating your account, you are HIDING your profile. With a deactivated account, you can continue to search for Professionals and use the One Stop Wedding Planner tools. Another security feature BridePros offers is the ability to close a match. If you don’t wish to communicate with a Professional, you can close or block that specific Professional. When you block a member, BridePros will automatically send a friendly message to the Professional letting them know you wish not to communicate any longer. This feature is also available for Professionals. Additionally, if someone is communicating in an inappropriate matter, you have the ability to block and report them to BridePros.
5. Why use BridePros?^ Top
(Couples)Because it’s the only wedding website that lets YOU get down to business. There are many websites that offer wedding vendor directories, but it’s almost impossible to choose when you’re provided with an endless list of Professionals. When you’re looking for a Professional who offers a specific service or item, and who fits your needs exactly, how would a huge directory help you? It doesn’t, and in fact it creates more stress and work. BridePros enables you to let Professionals know exactly what you’re looking for so they can contact you instead of you wasting time searching for them. Conversely, BridePros provides you with the tools to search Professionals based on your specific needs. It’s the only network site for wedding Professionals and Couples, as well as it provides the MOST complete organizational tools to effectively plan your wedding.

Well, you have nothing to loose with BridePros because it’s FREE to pre-register. Then, if you’re happy with the number of leads you have and the services we offer, you can upgrade your account to either the Standard Plus or KeyClub membership. A Standard Plus membership allows you to display your company information.

8. How do wedding couples find BridePros, and why is it so popular?^ Top
The majority of BridePros traffic comes from One Stop Wedding Planner, Inc (http://www.onestopweddingplanner.com). One Stop Wedding Planner (OSWP) launched two years ago. It is an organizational tool that wedding couples use to plan the details of their wedding. The popularity of OSWP has grown significantly. OSWP has proudly accommodated over 15,000 users in just a two year period. The idea to launch a site like BridePros was developed because we wanted to create a way in which wedding couples could easily and quickly get in contact with wedding professionals in the area of which they are getting married. Thus, BridePros was born! OSWP is now directly linked with BridePros and every wedding couple who finds and signs up through OSWP automatically becomes a BridePros member and has full access the wedding planning tools we offer on both sites.
